Chicago - The Band Tickets

Chicago is many things to many millions of people. It is a great American city, a legendary musical, and the name of the best bands to emerge during the 1970s.This progressive rock outfit continues to perform its biggest hits throughout the country, oftentimes stopping cities like Las Vegas for resident weekends or joining forces with groups like Huey Lewis and the News and the Doobie Brothers. The most recent Chicago tickets have this group co-headlining with the Doobie Brothers in 2012. The New Year, 2013, will likely pair the band with a familiar face and the release of a 35th album.

The group actually formed in 1967 as a cover band. Then they were called The Big Thing, but after the addition of a lead singer they became Chicago Transit Authority. A legal maneuver from the CTA meant another name change, simply Chicago. Then they were Robert Lamm, James Pankow, Lee Loughnane, Walter Parazaider, Danny Seraphine, Peter Cetera, and Terry Kath. Now founding members Lamm, Pankow, Loughnane, and Parazaider remain with Jason Scheff, Tris Imboden, Keith Howland, Lou Pardini, and Walfredo Reyes rounding out the group.

Chicago’s last album, its 34th was a release of a concert recorded back in 1975, after the release of Chicago VII. This album and the performance was part rock and part adult contemporary. Then the group took turns as lead singer, which made them a rarity in the age of front men. The group has maintained this tradition, using the new voices in the mix to replace those founding members who have moved on.

The group still continues to play the hits, and the fans expect to hear the hits like “If You Leave Me Now”, “Saturday in the Park”, and “25 or 6 to 4”. Chicago tickets are an opportunity to enjoy the progressive rockers as they take the stage with Huey, Doobie Brothers, and Earth, Wind, and Fire. The concert tour may come with a new album, whether it is a compilation of greatest hits, a release of a live performance, or even new material with the help of new additions.
